Appreciate all the advice. Saved me from wasting time on YouTube or wasting money on software that wasn't going to work.

I took a gamble and brought it to the guy. Nothing to loose. He didn't ask for down-payment. It seams to be working OK. Im posting from it now. I'm going to use it for a while and I'll probably have him unlock another one. He said he had someone do it over the phone. This one is actually a tab...

Thanks maybe I'll pay that shop the $60.

I followed the steps in link. After I did the factory reset on them it was still requesting password or the Google account it was setup on. I saw some software online like droidkit but I didn't want to buy it without asking advice on it first.

I was on a demo job in work and the company threw out a bunch of Samsung tablets that where mounted on the door of each room. I grabbed a couple of each. SM-T220N Tab 8 (2021), sm-t350 Galaxy Tab A 8.0 and sm-t290 Galaxy tab A 8.0 (2019). Is there any way I can wipe or reset them so I can put my...

Appreciate the honest advice. I scrapped almost everything but the case and started over. My third build with this case. This was the first build https://hardforum.com/threads/help-with-500-00-build-for-web-surfing.1589007/ This is what i ended up going with. MSI B550M PRO-VDH WiFi ProSeries...

I let this sit for a while and now it's having same problem. No video and this time it doesn't seam to power up mouse. Is this a good replacement motherboard? (GIGABYTE GA-Q87M-D2H Intel Q87 LGA1150 HDMI USB 3.0 mATX $45.00 used) Any other thoughts or advice...

Yes it's a 2 tb ssd and the storage drive is 3 tb

Installed the new hard drive. I did a new windows 11 install and got office reinstalled successfully. Games run fine on the new hard drive. The fresh install didn't solve the games crashing on storage drive issue but I don't' need it anymore.

That checked out ok. I think I can sign into my Microsoft account and reinstall office after installing windows 11 on new hard drive. I'll save the old hard drive just in case.

No overclock. I ran memcheck but just one pass. Just games. I'm not sure about the direct X question? I have Microsoft proplus 2021. If I do a fresh install of windows 11 on new hard drive am I going to loose office?

I tried a new storage drive and it still did it. Games all work ok on the os ssd drive.

New Newegg had the 2tb Elite version for $92. I ordered one. I'll see how that goes with fresh windows install. That should be plenty of space for games.

Appreciate all the replies. I feel like this happened a while back with a windows update but in not sure. I was working a lot at the time. I think i'm going to buy a 2tb ssd and do a fresh windows 11 install. Is this drive ok...

Yes, I should have mentioned that. I tried different ports.

I tried a new hard drive with a different sata cable. Games are still crashing. I ran a pass on memtest and it checked out ok. I probably should have let it run for longer but I needed computer. I'm going to search around on google. Let me know if I can try anything else. I'm not sure if i...

I downloaded and installed the latest chipset drivers from gigabyte's page for this motherboard. It gave me confirmation that it installed correctly but I can't find chipset in device manager to confirm. I checked all system devices marked intel in screenshot and driver doesn't match the one I...

If I install a game on my 2nd storage drive they are instable and crash. The computer will lockup. I can't get out of it with task manager. All I can do is to hold power button and restart. The computer is my X58-Ud5 system in my sig. The storage drive is a old Hitachi 3tb drive and I have a...

Awesome,that fixed it. Thanks again.

Thanks For replies. I forgot to mention that it's the X58-ud5 system in my sig. I'll see if I can find driver.

I had to unplug ethernet to get update to install. In device manager in network adaptors it's showing up as Realtek PCIe GbE Family controller #2 but its not a pcie adaptor. ethernet is on motherboard. If I disable or uninstall I can plug cable in without crashing computer. Anything else I can...

I better leave well enough alone. Not sure what I might be getting into with a reinstall. With my luck install will fail due to hardware requirements or something.

I checked for updates and wasn't able to get 22H2 to install.

I'm not too savvy when it comes to operating systems. I have windows update turned on and been letting it do its thing. That's also why I didn't post a screenshot. Not sure if I was going to post a product key,ip address or something that i shouldn't be posting. I'll see if I can update and...

My X58 system in sig has watermark. My Z97 rig does not have it. Both don't meet requirements and have legit copies of windows.

Yes I might do that. My currant rig is ok for now.

I did some searching and I thought rumors where pointing towards 13th gen on z690. I think ddr5 is going age better. After searching around it seams possible 13th gen will work on z690 and and might be ddr5 only or a chance it will run better on ddr5. I'm going to take your advice on the ssd...

I'm looking to build something to replace my x58 system that has been my main gaming rig sense 2008. My main focus on this build is for it to last as long as possible without changing motherboard. I'll probably change cpu or add ram at some point down the road. 1) What will you be doing with...

I had this problem and it turned out to be my surge protector interrupting power.

Interested to hear about unsupported hardware running Windows 11. Installation method, system specs ,how it's running, thoughts and opinions. I'm running x58-ud5 system in my sig. I used this guys method on youtube. Running good so far and updates appear to be working.

My computer isn't supported by windows 11. If I buy a 2nd hard drive of equal size. Clone my currant windows 10 install and unplug the old hard drive. Upgrade to windows 11 on new hard drive. Can I always just go back to old windows 10 hard drive if Microsoft decides not to do updates on my...

How likely is it that these workarounds will still work at launch, cause instability problems or problems with future updates? It would be nice if it worked without any problems or better yet Microsoft listen to people like they did with the xbox one launch and lower the requirements.

Comcast fixed the internet and then I bricked the R7000 router trying to load tomato on it. I ended up getting the Asus RT-AC5300 from Micro center,this one https://www.asus.com/us/Networking/RT-AC5300/ I hope this setup is stable. Router seams to work well with extender so far.

I did a little more research and I need a business account to use that modem with 2 ip addresses so I can't do that. To make things worse my modem is throwing a lot of errors. Anyone know what these mean? Bad connection in line somewhere?

I hate to replace the router because it's been rock solid with extender. DD-WRT or other routers I have are unstable with connection and extender. They need to be rebooted after power outage or internet outage where the r7000 would come back online on its own.

Would this router be a better option than replacing modem? Should it work ok with my netgear ex7000 extender? ASUS AC2900 WiFi Dual-band Gigabit Wireless Router...

I did some searching and i guess I have to pay for a 2nd ip address to get that router to work the way I want.

This problem is still ongoing. I tried ww-wrt and it was unstable and didn't work will with extender. Would this modem solve my problem? ARRIS SURFboard SB8200...
